With a large population who don't eat meat, India lays claim to many of the world's heartiest vegetarian dishes. From curries packed with nutritious lentils or gently spiced vegetables such as potato and cauliflower to street snacks such as dosa, the array of vegetarian recipes from the subcontinent is impressive. Whether you're strictly vegetarian or just looking to boost your intake of vegetables, you can't go wrong with any of these Indian vegetarian recipes.

Fair warning: this quintessential Indian street food is extremely addictive and makes for an excellent afternoon snack. Depending on how much heat you can handle, serve these fritters with spicy chutney or a dollop of yogurt.
